Designed by Robert Perry — the same naval architect behind Baba, Tayana, Island Packet, and Pacific Seacraft. He built boats for real passagemakers: ocean-capable, balanced, with smart hull geometry and a focus on life aboard.

Built in 1980, but technically in excellent shape. A brand-new engine was installed in 2020. In 2023–2024, the boat underwent a series of upgrades: rigging, domestic systems, new EPIRB, life raft, upgraded galley, new upholstery, electrical work, and fresh varnish. All done with care, not just for looks.

On deck: windlass with remote control, hydraulic steering, Raymarine autopilot, chartplotter. Clean cockpit layout with good visibility underway.

The keel is long, with an integrated skeg — helping protect the rudder from accidental impact and improving directional stability on passage.

Below deck: a warm, classic interior with lots of wood, comfortable seating, a full galley with stove and fridge, and a separate head. Everything needed for life aboard is there.

This is a boat for those who aren’t chasing glossy 2000s production hulls — but instead want a solid, proven design with real character.
